Transport like ordinary Thai by ferry/bus on river !!!!!!
Experienced the crowded ferry bus by standing (in rush hour) all the way to city center !!!!!!
Along this river trip you can go almost everywhere in the city along this shopping route. By using a bit taxi or bus to the tourist attraction will be perfect. Mind you, the river is dirty and smelly like any old river. People are still living along this canal.
Be careful:: Don't come later than 8:00pm. Ferry stop service after 8pm. You can take other transport, Metro, bus taxi etc. Mosquito is a small problem here.
Check in and out is no problem at all. We simply walk out the apartment and drop the card and key in postbox (The host will give you instruction).
There are coffee and chocolate drinks in the kitchen. We made simple breakfast in the kitchen, cook our coffee tea. Buy some food on the way back home and heat it up in microwave when we don't feel like eating in the street.
Simple cooking is also possible, the kitchen facilities are much better than the picture shows.
There is a good open food market at Ramkhamhaeng Road (Sport Authority). When you cross the river (bridge) immediately turn left to the second ferry station. There is Ramkhamhaeng 65 Alley. Walk 5 minutes to Ramkhamhaeng Road, Cross the footbridge (flyover) and there you are. Full of food stall. The best is the first big one serving porkchop steak for 89B . Drink sugar cane juice for 20B at next stall. Taste insect snack..
BTW Neighbour are extreme friendly, we even just talk to them while we were experiencing Bangkok (our area) blackout from 9-15:00. :)
This was our second apartment in Bangkok. The first has a nice view, this has a personal touch from the host family. So far very nice experience in Bangkok.
Thanks Thai and Thailand...
